Alive.


I’ve lived the rain.
And felt it dry.
Dry like cold drops of heaven slithering down the dome of a black umbrella.
Funny how heaven’s white.
And hell’s red.
Like black doesn’t really belong.
Someone died today.
And someone was born.
And someone said goodbye.
I wonder which was hardest.
They won the game.
And lost the day.
The last red haze of twilight sinking into a bleak horizon.
And they said it looked ‘alive’.

two birds with one poem.

Someone died today.
And someone was born.
And someone said goodbye.
I wonder which was hardest.

when the battle's lost and won - the dichotomy of existence - you find it everywhere if you know how to look.
